    I always do the windows updates when it says, new critical updates available.

    Also have the automatic updates on.

    This time when it does the installing of updates, I get a message saying that all the office 2003 updates were not able to be installed.

    Never had this problem before ?

    Is there a specific error, or is Microsoft Update just giving the standard "These update were not installed"?

    Sounds like you may have a corrupt install of Office. Open any office app and click on Help, then Repair. You may need the original CD to do the repair. Try the updates again. If no go, try to manually download Office 2003 SP3 and install it. Then try updates again.

    I was able to find the original Disc.

    Put it into CD-Rom while windows tried to re-installed updates.

    Looks like it worked. Thanks for the advice.
